Vice President of Operations

About the role

Build the operational foundation for VRAET's continued development and growth. VRAET is seeking an experienced Vice President of Operations to join its executive leadership team. Translate company strategy into operating plans, scalable systems and clear accountability, giving leadership visibility into priorities, performance, risks and cross-functional dependencies. This role offers the opportunity to influence how VRAET builds and scales its operating model, rather than simply inheriting and maintaining an established operational structure. Cross-functional executive coordination involves working closely with executive leadership and functional leaders across Technology, Product, Research, Marketing, Finance, and other areas of the organization. The role operates in a remote-first, distributed environment, requiring work across time zones with clear communication, documentation, ownership and decision rights to support coordinated execution.

Responsibilities

• Translate strategic priorities into actionable operating plans, milestones, ownership structures, and measurable outcomes.
• Coordinate execution across multiple functions, identify dependencies, resolve operational bottlenecks, and ensure key initiatives remain aligned with company priorities.
• Develop and continuously improve company-wide processes, workflows, operating cadences, documentation, and decision-making structures.
• Build operational systems capable of supporting increasing organizational complexity while maintaining speed, accountability, and execution quality.
• Develop KPIs, dashboards, reporting mechanisms, and operating reviews that provide leadership with meaningful visibility into company performance.
• Provide structured operational analysis and recommendations related to priorities, resource allocation, organizational challenges, execution risks, and strategic initiatives.
• Help establish an effective operating model for a remote-first organization, including clear ownership, communication standards, decision rights, documentation, and cross-time-zone collaboration.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency through process redesign, automation, technology, and AI-enabled workflows.

Requirements

• Significant experience in operations, business operations, enterprise transformation, or related executive functions.
• Demonstrated experience building or scaling operational systems across multiple departments.
• Strong knowledge of organizational design, process optimization, KPIs, operating cadence, and execution management.
• Experience working directly with executive leadership and senior functional leaders.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and strategic problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to move comfortably between strategic planning and hands-on execution.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• High levels of ownership, judgment, discretion, and accountability.
• Ability to operate effectively within a distributed, remote-first environment.

Skills

• Industry domain experience within technology, AI, fintech, financial services, digital assets, or high-growth organizations is advantageous.
• Deep cryptocurrency expertise is not necessarily required; however, intellectual curiosity and the ability to quickly develop an understanding of the digital asset ecosystem are important.
